As long as it starts every email with “I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to …” it’ll be easy to spot these submissions and apply whatever your organization’s policy is for AI-Aided applications.

It's a normal language for most ESL people. It's how we have been taught.

Also things like "Dear XYZ", "Yours faithfully/sincerelly" - it is how we were drilled to write mails.

Really? Nobody else would use that?

Almost like we need to develop a new language where the license for use does not allow training on ai. Like ww2 when Navajo was used…

Because it’s ridiculous to think we can’t use proper English for fear of being labeled an ai!

You do know other ways to start a formal email, don’t you? :)

That’s the point. Will I have to resort to using informal English to not be labeled AI?

For instance, sup.

Sure, but it introduces an invisible barrier for applicants. Someone who accidentally starts their email that way because they didn't know that hiring managers are doing this kind of filtering accidentally trigger the filter. That's not a problem for the hiring managers, but it adds one more reason why an applicant might get disqualified in a process that is already frustratingly opaque for applicants.

Haha AI users do not care about licensing!
